    Hacking Rudolph releases AKAIO 1.5.1 MOD

    We just appreciate your work, Norm, and wish you wouldn't quit because of someone else deciding to get on his high horse. It's the end users who really love what you have done for our cards that wind up getting hurt I remember when stuff like this virtually killed the flight sim genre back in...

    DS #4484: Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (USA)

    The fact that the game uses sprites (the engine seems to run very nicely for a DS title though) seems to put it more in the "Daggerfall" era as far as feel, than in something more recent like Morrowind. (The initial chat/merchant menus (not the Elder Scrolls/Ultima character generation ethical...

    Hacking No GBA support, right?

    Why are you insulting me? I'm trying to help people. Isn't that what a forum is all about? And nowhere did I say that a DSi has a slot 2, did I? -.- I was explaining some things about what the Acekard can and can not do. And you're right, it was the iplayer that can use GBA emulation; I...

    Hacking No GBA support, right?

    DSi requires a flashcart that can run a GBA emulator; I think only the CycloDS can do this and be supported officially. With a DS/DSL, I don't know if the cyclo can do it since the more powerful DSI hardware can't be used, but usually you can use a slot 2 GBA compatible flash device and the...

    Hacking Acekard 2i magically quit working

    I've seen *several* dirty carts do this before; health and warning screen to be frozen and very faded. I saw this exact same thing on an old passcard 3 I tried to use a few weeks ago, just to see if it still worked. D5 spray fixed it. Deoxit D5 Power Booster is what you want. That also fixes...

    Hacking HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!&

    It means you don't have any operating system (system files) on the micro sd card. You need to have an operating system in order to use it. Read the AKAIO Wiki that is stickied at the top of this forum. I'm surprised you didn't do that yet. It explains how to install AKAIO.

    Gaming Phantasy Star Zero Matchmaking

    So with latest akaio loader and acekard2i+1.5, you can connect to cycloDS/retail carts with the UNPATCHED rom? Am I right?

    ROM Hack Phantasy Star 0 Anti-Piracy online

    The last person who asked this was ignored So I'll ask it again for him since I want to know too; Can ACEKARD users play with legit (and cyclo DS) cart owners with an unpatched (clean) Rom? Was ANY of the testing done with an acekard?

    DS #4411: Phantasy Star à (USA)

    What is the problem with the *UNPATCHED* Xeno Rom? How come the unpatched one seems to work perfectly on an ak2i ? I even did a 4 player wfc game... (um, nvm, got the patch and read the info...seems like it's not needed for most carts...)

    DS #4411: Phantasy Star à (USA)

    I just finished a short game over WFC (left in the middle after doing a few battles with 3 other people, but I was wowed). Wow....definitely a nice little game. I've NEVER played a phantasy star game before, so this is interesting. Sort of reminds me of a multiplayer version of Soma Bringer...

    Hacking firmware 1.56 B3

    The reason he asked you to obtain the rom from another source is, some sources may automatically patch roms (meaning: the roms aren't clean) if they aren't working on any flashcarts initially. If the original source doesn't tell you that the ROM is patched (or trimmed), well...I'm sure you see...

    Hacking AKAIO Moonshell2 Loader Public Beta

    The only things needed are moonshl2.nds, directboot.nd and the moonshl2 folder. When you copy the folder, make sure when you extracted it to the computer, before putting it on the sdcard, that that folder has its subfolder directory structure intact. You will know if you did this right, since...

    Hacking real time guide

    I think the only (in this case, RPG's) designed specifically for people over age 18 are the Etrian Odyssey and Dark Spire games, which are in the old Bard's Tale/Wizardry type of format... ; the average DS user wasn't even BORN when Wizardry 7 was released, and were too young to play wizardry...

    Hacking AKAIO Moonshell2 Loader Public Beta

    How come I addressed this before yet everyone ignored it? You can run the akaio akmenu4.nds from moonshell...which brings akaio back up; is pressing ONE extra button a problem?

    Hacking Psooble to recover with Acekard 2?

    I got into what seemed like recovery mode, on my ak2i, with flashme v8. The DSL power light kept blinking on and off--holding down start and select while powering on, right? And the DS immediately autostarts slot-1 and if empty, then slot 2? Is that really recovery mode though? Because I ran...

    ROM Hack backing up ds titles

    Did you use the search? I"m sure this has been asked many times.... Someone even posted a tool for backing up a save from a DS cart to a second slot 1 device (via swapping), and vice versa....

    Hacking bricked AceKard 2i after bootloader update

    If it means anything, the acekard I Got from dealextreme was bricked on arrival (DOA) and had a 32 bit ID. Meaning it wasn't detected by the DS lite at all. I WAS Able to flash it by doing the swap by booting with a good card, WITHOUT it hanging at all, but even though it flashed to 100%, it...

    Hacking Moonshell on Acekard 2.1

    Sigh....you didn't read the readme file? It tells you what to do -.- But since I'm taking the time to write this anyway, I won't be an ass, and say put the moonshl2, and directboot.nds files and the moonshl2 folder on the root of the flash drive. Run the non directboot one first, as I don't...

    Hacking Moonshell loading commercial roms on AK2i?

    I know I'm an idiot here, but *why* do you want to load commercial roms with moonshell, anyway? Does moonshell have some extra feature over akaio ? You can reboot the acekard menu through moonshell by just running the menu file.

    Hacking bricked AceKard 2i after bootloader update

    The dsi update can be run on BOTH pre 1.4 Dsi's AND ds lites; I ran it on my DS lite with no problems at all, and can of course be used on both DSs and DSi's after flashing. The DSL update, as far as I can tell, is mainly for either mass flashing cards or for brick recovery from a bad flash.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
